A freezing lid is collapsing over the pole. Meteorologists are monitoring a phenomenon that could also affect the Czech winter

Meteorologists are observing an unusual weakening of the polar vortex earlier than usual, which could significantly impact European winter weather. Typically, the polar vortex strengthens in January and February, but current models suggest a potential reversal of wind patterns by mid-November. This phenomenon could break records for early stratospheric warming, previously noted in late November. The ongoing strong El Niño may contribute to these changes, affecting atmospheric conditions. While the weakening vortex could allow Arctic air to move south, its impact on weather patterns in Europe remains uncertain, depending on various atmospheric factors.
